Question

What do you mean by equivalent Conductivity?

• A. It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution.
• B. It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving ten gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution.
• C. It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving hundred gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution.
• D. It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving thousand gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution.

Equivalent Conductivity is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one gram equivalent of an electrolyte in solution. It is expressed as and is related to specific conductance as. (M is Molarity of the solution)
